Employee Performance Appraisal

An annual form completed by MCSO supervisors that justifies giving or not giving you a pay raise. This form is mandated by policy, but no one really cares about them unless they are really super negative. Supervisors hate writing them as they know it's pointless.

Theoretically it documents your performance over the last year, but every commander has different criteria and people just make shit up as they please.

Its time for your annual Employee Performance Appraisal.

Performative Dissonance

The artistic technique or emotional state where a piece of music, art, or a person displays a contradiction between the external appearance and the internal reality — without openly acknowledging it. In music, it refers to the contrast between energetic, upbeat melodies or performative confidence and lyrics that express vulnerability, insecurity, or pain. The juxtaposition reflects the emotional façade people often put on, hiding their true feelings behind a mask of positivity or strength. The key element is that the performance does not break the fourth wall — the song or performance never directly acknowledges the dissonance, instead allowing it to exist in the tension between sound and meaning.

1. Olivia Rodrigo's "Brutal" is a classic example of performative dissonance — the loud, confident sound masks the anxiety and frustration she’s feeling.

2. The song had an overwhelming sense of performative dissonance, where the upbeat rhythm clashed with the loneliness in the lyrics.

Performative men

Men who visibly engage in activities to demonstrate their masculinity by paradoxically doing things that are distinctly viewed as traditionally emasculating.

“You see those performative men over there?”
“Yeah, the one with 3 Labubus clipped to his fanny pack and the buff one with red nail polish proudly carrying a protein shake and a copy of Sapiens like it’s the Bible?”
